Dan Mangan sings "Basket" Folk Fest 2015 poem #1

button up shirt
guitar
short cropped hair
stubbled face
earnest with intent

it’s hot but we sit
in searing sun
gravelled voice lifting dust of his life
and we answer back
in waves of thought

placing puzzle pieces
on the grand
table of memories
our collective
experience

for who doesn’t have
something to add to the basket
when it comes around
each poignancy      each loss
dropped like a stone

and so we will
button on our armour
       and ride our steed
